Story Behind The Song
I don't think there's a soul alive who doesn't know someone who's long been drinking or drugging or using and abusing, and now its slowly become the harbinger of truth while painfully bringing about the destruction of love. That being said, Its semi-autobiographical. -C. Hurst
Song Description
It's a maddening love affair with a woman, spiritual doubt, and booze. How so many mistakes after awhile, all tend to look the same.

Lyrics
First thing this morning
apologized for last nite
had a cigarette and hoped that
everything was alright.
Well the snow hasn't melted and the icy wind still blows
but i said my prayers this morning,
felling better i suppose.
Chorus:
Well half drunken prayers only get halfway to heaven,
and I'm praying, that God will meet me halfway,
cause half drunken prayers only get ya halfway to heaven,
But they're ten times as heartfelt, as the sober prayers i pray.
Afternoon and evening,
I didn't speak a word,
my apology this morning,
was the last thing that you heard,
Now night has fallen over and I'm,
drowning out the dark,
with these desperate words upon my lips,
and a prayer upon my heart.
*Chorus
